Pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis successfully treated by emergency surgery: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that produce symptoms through the excess release of catecholamines. The treatment of choice is a complete surgical removal after pretreatment with an α-blocker, to prevent dangerous hemodynamic fluctuations. Newell and colleagues defined the rare, fatal condition of catecholamine crisis, which includes multiple organ failure (MOF), severe blood pressure variability, high fever, and encephalopathy, as pheochromocytoma multisystem crisis (PMC). The indications for emergency surgery in this unstable state still remain controversial. This report presents the case of a 52-year-old female patient with PMC who successfully underwent a surgical resection. This case showed that early tumor removal may be the only means of halting the progression of this disease.
